Why is the gas meter level indicated on the dashboard very inaccurate?
For example, I'll start the car and my gas tank will indicate that it is half full. After driving approximately five miles, it'll drop to the red where it is close to empty. Later when I return to the car and start it up, the meter will be just below the half tank marker. I have no idea if this is a glitch with the dashboard, or if there is a gas leak......although I haven't seen any leaking. Help!!!
